“Factibilidad para el diseño de una micro-red basado en la economía circular en el proceso de extracción de petróleo”

Abstract

This article determined the feasibility of implementing a design based on micro-networking and fuel economy in the oil extraction process. The main problem is focused on the emission of gases that have a negative impact on the environment and are generated by oil companies. The circular economy plays a very important role in this design, the integration of photovoltaic panels and diesel generators allowed the reduction of operational costs and the adequate use of energy resources. Under the scenario of an oil plant with 24-hour operation, the system proposed in this study is considered feasible since the optimization algorithm shows an annual reduction of diesel consumption by 56% and a decrease in operating costs by 16%, thus reducing the footprint of pollutant gas emissions in the sector under study.
